Schnabel, Esther (Marriage - 7 Dec 1926)

A very pretty wedding was solemnized last Tuesday, Dec. 7, 1926, when Miss Esther Schnabel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schnabel, became the bride of William Zarnke, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Zarnke, Sr., at the Reformed Church parsonage, rev. J. C. Rosenau officiating. Miss Olga Zarnke, sister of the groom, acted as bridesmaid and the groom was attended by Leo Schnabel, a brother of the bride.

The bride wore a beautiful dress of white satin and georgette crepe and carried a shower bouquet of pale pink carnations. The bridesmaid wore a dress of pale green flat crepe.

A wedding reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, the home being nicely decorated with green and white streamers for the occasion. In the evening, a free wedding dance was given at Cherokee hall, which was largely attended.

They will leave for Milwaukee, where they will make their future home.

Both the bride and groom have many friends in this vicinity (Colby, Wis.), who extend congratulations and wish them a long, pleasant and prosperous life.
